Easy $5 Gift for Teen and Tween Girls

I have four teenage nieces and two tweenage girl cousins. They are notoriously hard to buy for. I seriously am at a loss every year. I would love to just be able to buy them gift cards or give them cash, but, um, what's a $5 gift card gonna buy? One sock? Chapstick?

I wanted to come up with something that I could just replicate six times in a short time period, but that was something they would appreciate. And now enters the key player. The Target $1 Spot. Oh, how I love thee. My little heart goes pitter patter everytime I'm able to grace your aisles.

So here's your breakdown of a really cute, really fast, really cheap gift for girls.

Pedicure Set $1
Christmas-y socks $1
Nail Polish $2


I apologize for the pictures. It's been very dreary here. Even with my new camera and all the windows and doors and lights, they still sucked.

My gift wrapping theme this year is Julie Andrews. Ya know, "brown paper packages tied up with string...".


I dropped the socks, pedicure set, and polish is a brown lunch sack, folded it over, punched a couple of holes, added this adorable "For Your Mistle-Toes" tag (buy them here from Making Life Whimsical), and tied it all together with gorgeous red and white baker's twine.


Can someone please tell me why I love baker's twine so much????

Thanks for stopping by! Pin It Now!
